I know things worked out for the best because I now know that I don't want a tiny after all. If she is what you want who cares about her age. There is no guarantee with a younger dog either. I have see people get puppies and then the puppy passes away when they are 2 or 3. You can't trust time, but you can trust your heart and if she is right for you then go for it, even if you get less years with her than you would a puppy it will be worth it if she has your heart. Does that make sense?

Yes you do make sense. I have had people contact me looking particularly for an older dog as they don't want a puppy and go through all the puppy stuff. An older dog still requires a certain amount of training when arriving into a new home but some people just like an adult instead.
